Sujet: Treliving Decides to Roll the Dice
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I just wanted to float this idea to get discussions going, inasmuch as Hall is from Calgary. My only emphatic input on the subject is that I think it would be much too risky to try some TDL deal for Hall because you might get only a few games plus playoffs from him -- similar to the Stars' Zuccarello debacle. If you're not going to wait for Hall to hit free agency, I think that the deal is better made sooner rather than later.

In my tentative scope of a 2020-2021 roster, I have Andersson at $2.5 for 3 years. You think he'll go for $4MM?</div></div>

I like your line of thinking here specifically for playoff success standpoint.
The problem with trading for Hall early in the season is ya gotta part with more pieces than ya want.

A TDL scenario allows a team to give up less just because a team only gets a quarter of the season out of this...and while conditions can be added for an extension, its just more doable in a TDL crunch.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blowing_the_zone</b></div><div>How did Reilly become the new scapegoat? I miss the good ol' days when Gardiner held that title..

So far this season it seems like the scapegoat handle goes to Kap, Rielly, Andersen, Mitch, Spezza and/or maybe JT is in there, too.

Can't we just all agree that everything is always Babcock's fault?</div></div>

It's not so much as Rielly being the scapegoat and more about some times just making a safe play instead of trying to make offensive plays 100% of the time. I read what you wrote in <a href="/users/BCAPP" target="_blank">@BCAPP</a> 's ACGM and liked every single thing you brought up.
I also think there's a time and place for offensive plays....and then other times you just make that safe play even though it's not fancy but it's gotta be made.

These are things that winning demands.
